View through vents from ventilation shafts above Victoria Line platforms, Euston tube station

In May 2016 I was lucky enough to get to take a tour through the disused/non-public tunnels underneath Euston Station in London. The whole experience was fantastic, but a particular highlight was getting to stand in a ventilation shaft directly above the Victoria Line platforms, where this video was taken. Travelling the underground, it’s easy to be unaware of the network of tunnels around the ones you’re in, bringing air and electricity from the surface.

Found while on the way to a meeting this morning. GPSr was “off” and I spent a while looking up poles on the wing side of the road before I worked out where ought to be looking! TFTC.

Stopped off here to deliver a forgotten bag to my partner’s brother, who drove the other way to meet me here, while I was waiting for him to arrive. Luckily he was running late because it took me a good 20 minutes to find the cache. Rather embarrassing really, once I found it: should’ve spotted it earlier!

Afterwards, shouted at some yobs for littering. Why do people do that? :-(

Literally 10 minutes walk from my house, so I hope to be able to attend (I need to double-check that I’ve not already committed myself to babysitting duties that night, first, but odds look very good for me).

Edit (2016-06-02 18:58 BST): Okay! On the way! See you soon!

My tribe and I are on holiday down in Newport, so yesterday evening my partner and I made a swift hike up to this summit to find the cache and watch the sunset. A beautiful spot you’ve found here, with a while lot of history (from a possible neolithic burial site to a bronze age village to an iron age hill fort to the legend of Saint Brynach who came up here, they say, to speak to the angels). Didn’t see any angels on our visit, but did see that heavenly view of the bay. TFTC, FP awarded.
